Pass Over the Peach Cake, Please

Concocting new things in the kitchen is always fun –putting a twist on old, overused classics. Don’t get me wrong, vanilla cake is great. But vanilla cake with peach slices and cream cheese frosting is even better (que my latest recipe)! It’s fresh, light, and quick to make. If you know how to count up to 5, you’re set. You’ll soon see why.

Ingredients:

5 eggs

5 tbsp sugar

5 tbsp flour

1 tsp baking powder

3 tsbp oil

1 tsp of vanilla essence

1 cup of diced peaches (fresh or from

Steps:

Preheat the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Separate the eggs, and beat the whites until they form peaks. Add the sugar, continuing to beat until the mixture regains its more solid structure. Then fold in the yolks, one by one.

Fold in your flour along with baking powder, followed by the oil and vanilla essence.

Add the diced peaches to finish off.

Pour the mix into a greased cake pan and pop it into the oven for about 40 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean ( it really is a foolproof test).

Let cool before adding the icing.

For the frosting:

1 package of light cream cheese, 1 tbsp butter(softened)

1 cup confectioner’s sugar

Mix the cream cheese with 1 tbsp of butter until soft. Add in and mix the sugar, then spread it on the cooled cake.
